Not too long ago i was talking to crazy about HSF options
he got a Zalaman 7000bCU
not a bad heatsink but i had the 7000aCU before and there where many tings i did not like about it
only difference was the weight :unsure:
para bought the alu/cu version for vlad pc
to my main point is Copper, its better than aluminum and but it weigh more.
when its brand new it is de pinicle of cpu cooling, but i dont tink so
why?
new heatsinks made of copper have a special chemical sprayed on it to keep it shiny and prevent oxidation, de sad ting about it, it soluble with water.
what water?
boss we in trinidad, humidity is like doubles in curepe. :banana: :banana:
when this chemical is gone, copper oxide likes to hold moisture and dust sticks on like concrete.
now why does copper make sence?
now the other white metal, aluminum
this is de oldest heat spreader since we know heat is a issue to computers
its cheap and light but not the best thermal conductor like copper is but the closest to it.
aluminum is still being used by all teh cpu manufactorers
why?
one Al dont need special coating, infact the aluminum oxide is the best protective coating for Al products. Copper oxides develops into a power Al oxide is just ah nice very thin hard film.
no humidity problems and and the HS is not affected so its better in the long run
cleaning HSF is ah pain in de ass. i know some ppl will say get a aircan and blow de shit out of it but, sometimes we need ah brush, and de worst case is we need water ;)
we read alot of reviews of HSF but we never saw a review of a HSF that is used for 5 months and needs cleaning and placed back on the stool for testing.
now i not saying copper suck, only places like canada where water in de air is non existant is a good choice, crazy come to tink about it NY eh dat humid gg with the HSF
now where de HSF cuss out :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:
